I agree that chipmunks are cute to look at, but they certainly are pests. It is surprising how they can climb a skinny pole and jump from it onto a bird feeder. That is how one chipmunk got to a bird feeder we had in the middle of our yard.

You should have your husband post instructions for making a live trap. What did he put inside the trap to lure the chipmunk (and raccoon)?

Our chipmonks never climbed the feeder but we had a problem with squirrels. So we got a squirrel proof feeder from www.wildbirdsunlimited.com

It really worked. Then we had a racoon steal it and take it apart. We found all of the parts, put it back together and wired it to the post so the racoon couldn't take it. Then a BEAR came and tore down the post and broke the feeder and ate all of the food. So right now, our birds have to fend for themselves!Hugs,Penny
